Major
fundraising efforts for the Colts section during April & May 2017
at ASDA and Sainsburys.

A massive thank you to everyone who took part in the bag packing fundraising
at Asda on Saturday 13th May.

Starting at 10am the morning team sporting their club shirts took their
places across 5 checkouts as well as by the entrance and exit area.
After a well deserved lunchtime break the afternoon team continued the
great work until 4pm.

Ably supported by parents and grand parents, siblings and club volunteers,
the Colts did the club proud by their well mannered and smart appearance.

Special thanks goes to Lisa who did all the work organising the whole
day.

In hot sunshine Burpham
batted first with the youngest players facing each other. In one over
spells, Henry Gibbs and Oliver Heron-Woods opened the bowling for Ferring
, followed by Archie Finch and Matty Smith.

The boys fielded enthusiastically
with Oliver, Luke Day and captain,Harron Suganathan, taking good catches,
and 3 run outs achieved. Josh Poynter bowled with good pace and Matty
and Harran completed their overs without conceding a wide . Harvey Moore
took 2 wickets, with a wicket each for Luke, Jake Awde, Joseph Keegan
and Harran. During their innings we took 9 wickets, ( at minus 5 runs
a wicket ) and they finished on 265 ( each side starting with 200 runs
apiece ). Extras ( 2 runs for each wide/no ball ) contributed 52 to
a young Burpham side's score ( something to work on ! )

With some good running between wickets
we reached 265 with one over to go, having only lost 3 wickets.( - 15
runs ). Tyler and Joseph kept their cool to hit 7 off the last over
without losing a wicket so FCC Colts won by 7 runs .

Well done boys ! Thanks to Ian Edwards
,Colin Oliver Redgate ,Tony Poynter and Carl Tupper for coming to the
match, all the parents who turned out to support the boys in numbers,
Lisa for organising the colts/parents so well for the day and the whole
year, and Matt Reynolds for his season's coaching and match management.

Finally , thanks to Burpham
Cricket Club for hosting the match and putting on food and drinks after
the game.
